Are we making a move on Westerman?

To all the peeps who say we have enough o-linemen already and like the recruits already committed, there is a reason we lost the NC game, and it was because our O-line wasn't strong enough against a D-line that was stronger and as fast, if not faster than us.

So, I will always welcome another upgrade at O-line in terms of recruiting any day of the week, month, year, ever...

And unfortunately, Westerman won't be that upgrade.

We might have a great shot at Jake Fisher after he visits on the 28th.

Strengths: Nasty Streak

Perfect... thats what I love to hear... I dont think it would hurt anything if we were a little more "mean" on both lines...

I agree with what you are saying, but I think you have to take it one step further. The fact is, that our offensive line wasn't supremely talented this season. It's not like the line we had when Max Unger was here, this year's line was a technically sound group that worked well together. With this incoming class, and our previous offensive line classes, we have been recruiting a lot more talent which should be very beneficial. I would like to get bigger, but at least we are getting prospects that are perceived to be starting out with more talent. It's a start.

It takes a lot of work to make some of these 2-3* players play at a level that it takes to compete with the big boys. Starting out with bigger, stronger, and more talented players could make a big difference in this scheme.

Looks like Westerman may decommit from Texas.

Per ESPN

“Christian has built a strong relationship with Auburn players at the Under Armour game.” According to ESPNU, tomorrow’s announcement could be bad news for Texas and good news for Auburn. Either way, we will have an update tomorrow.

Makes sense since Auburn is an Under Armour school.

Do you think it was "strictly business?". And the "money was too good" for Westerman too?

if you believe BOL, then yes. certainly the loop-hole has been opened for any program to do it now. I suppose signing day will show us which real "shockers" happen
